Snow showers are in the forecast for southern Wisconsin on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

"We could certainly see some flakes," said Andy Boxell, a weather service meteorologist in Sullivan. The white stuff won't stick and no accumulation is expected. "Just a quick burst of big, fat snowflakes" on Saturday morning, Boxell said.

"The best chance is probably going to be to the north and west of Milwaukee toward Madison and up toward the (Wisconsin) Dells area, but we certainly can't rule out seeing a few flakes in the Milwaukee metro," Boxell said.

Those snow showers will likely be mixed with rain, with things shifting to all rain during the day.

The arrival of a few snowflakes is normal for this time of year, Boxell said. (The average for the first measurable snow — defined as a tenth of an inch or more — in Milwaukee is Nov. 14.)

Tailgating/pumpkin patch forecast

On Friday, there is a 30 percent chance of showers in Milwaukee, mainly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., according to the weather service. Look for partly sunny skies, with a high near 59. It will be breezy, with a southwest wind at 10 to 20 mph gusting as high as 30 mph.

If the Brewers win on Friday, Game 7 in the NLCS would begin at 8:09 p.m. Saturday. "It might be kind of a raw time out there in the parking lots" at Miller Park prior to the game, Boxell said.

Same goes if you plan to tailgate in Madison before the Wisconsin Badgers' 11 a.m. Saturday kickoff against Illinois.

For Madison on Saturday, the weather service says to expect rain and snow showers mainly before 2 p.m. It will be breezy, with a west wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Look for a high of 43. The chance of precipitation is 60%.
